Is blocking instances going to make it into .19?

Edit: Heck yeah! I'll toss a donation for that.

Nah, I block all the bots.

Edit: Settings -> uncheck "show bot accounts". Done, easy peasy.

Demographics. It may not be the case anymore but in the early days of the internet it was a majority American males. That trope has stuck around.

And statistically, vegans are roughly twice as likely to be women.

I just uncheck "Show bot accounts" Gets rid of most.

A vacuum sealer is your friend. I buy giant bags of everything now and split it up into single serving portions that last a long time.

They aren't. Suppressors require a $200 tax stamp and background check to purchase in the US. The only illegal part is possessing one without paying that tax.

This dude in Maine had tried to get a silencer. Wonder how much worse it would have been if everyone didn’t hear the reports and start running.

Hard to say. It's not like the movies. With the firearm he had (.308 with ~14-16" barrel), a silencer/suppressor only brings the volume down from "instant tinnitus" to "still loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage". It's far from silent. I'd never thought about it until now but I wonder if a silencer/suppressor could have increased surviveability. When people heard gunshots at volumes they would expect, they might be less disoriented. Verses the muzzle flash and concussion that comes from what he was shooting (basically a semi-auto flash bang).

I doubt these cameras can sustain that kind of uninterrupted use,

I had an old HTC phone that I used as a garage security camera for 2-3 years straight. It had to be restarted every couple months, but otherwise worked fine. Now you can get a $20 IP camera that surpasses it in every way tho.

Using it for trials? No. Using it to skirt taxes? Doubtful, but possible. If you stiff the state $6 on an x-box game, noones going to notice. Short them a couple thousand and they might.

I mostly use privacy.com for trials that I don't want to have to worry about cancelling later. It's also handy that privacy.com cards will allow you to put whatever you want as your billing address (for example, purchasing digital goods and setting your location to one that doesn't have sales tax).
